Odin flash fail

Hello,
I'm new here
My problem started when my CSC got stuck on SEE after trying to go back to stock rom from XEO ROM. My original CSC is XEH. I tried to use KIES to restore it, it flashed to the newest but my CSC hasnt changed. After that I downloaded ROM from a different regoin marked as XSG and I tried to flash it with ODIN but it failed and now I'm stuck with "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.." screen. All roms are Official. My download mode shows Secure Download: Enabled. Did I brick my phone?
Sorry for my not so perfect english
My mode is N910C with Exynos

did you put your phone in Download mode? did you unzipped the file to get the odin flashable file? go to download mode by pressing and holding volume down+home+power for 3 seconds and then let them go, if phone boots into download mode then its not bricked, you just have to download the file and unzipped, to get the Odin file, then open odin, with the phone on download mode, then click pda, search the unzipped file, and flash it, cheers

Samsung Galaxy On5 bricked, Odin doesnt work, Kies doesnt work, any options?

The only thing I can successfully do with odin is flash the bootloader. I have the full firmware file, but whenever I try flashing anything but the bootloader, FRP Lock blocks it or it fails in odin. I know the exact reason that the phone is bricked, my OEM Unlock setting in developer settings got turned off and I have a rooted binary, so now whenever it trys to boot up, a little red message shows up in the top left for the first few seconds of boot, then the phone shuts off completely. No other thread provides any solution for my situation. Odin wont flash any firmware and I cant get into TWRP anymore as well. Does anyone know what to do? I have a replacement coming from T Mobile in a few weeks but I want to try and fix this thing.

In first use srktool and if does not work use sp flashtool and download on5 scatter files for flash

That's for mtk devices only, and will probably brick op's device even more

Retry Kies.
In the back of phone under battery look for make name (Sould look like SM-G5xxxx) and S/N
Make copy on windows txt file
Boot phone into Download Mode but dont plug into usb yet.
Open Kies on Windows select tools, then firmware upgrade and initialization. Enter your make click ok then enter your S/N click ok. Plug phone into usb and keep clicking ok untill you see downloading firmware

Download this : https://mega.nz/#!IMFj0CAK!iVB3amQ1vesRuRpDwNHmc8zvUoL3nrPRXq1KanBdJJA
Unzip it
Put it in the AP (in Odin)
If fail then try use the included Odin in the stock ROM zip (but if you can access recovery, please factory reset first)

Extract the stock tar.md5 file.(using winrar or 7zip)
You will see a lot of files with .img at the end of them.
Rename the file "hidden.img" to "hidden.img.tar"
Go to odin and choose AP and find the file "hidden.img.tar" (in the extracted tar.md5 folder)
Click START
After that your device will show the android logo and it will looks like it's updating.
Leave it. Your phone will reboot after that. (If not then turn the phone on manually)

^^
Before i read your reply i unzip the file and delete Hidden file and i repack to tar file with 7zip
and start with odin and it Give me pass
but when reboot still stuck on logo
after that i tried your way
give me pass but still stuck on logo

Try using smart switch/kies and then go to "firmware initialization..." and restore your phone there
If not detect click the "reinstall driver" and reconnect your device.
If still not detect maybe you mess up something on your phone...

Still not working?

S7 Edge G935F // Faulty ODIN flash // Stuck in Bootloader [SOLVED]

Hi Guys,
today I wanted to flash the latest Stock ROM for my device via ODIN. I've done this many times before and (thought) I knew what I was doing. It is my third Phone frome the same carrier and none of them were branded/ locked devices before. Unfortunatly I wasn't aware that this particular device was locked.
After downloading the international firmware I tried to install it and ODIN got stuck while writing the system.img. After that my phone did not boot up (of course). After that I downloaded and tried to isntall the firmware of the carrier, but I had the exact same issue. When I turn my device on I get to an error screen which tells me to execute an "emergency recovery" via the Samsung smart switch software. But it too gets stuck on some point and only gets me to an error screen.
FRP hinders me to install a custom recovery and the stock one does not allow any isntallations via ADB or SD card.
My qustion is: Does anyone know how I can install a rom from here?
I know that I had to have made some changes prior to the flashing, but as I said I was not aware and an Idiot for not double checking.
Since it is not bricked yet I suppose there must be an answer but I can't find anything.
Thanks in advance
Edit:
After only installing the stock bootloader, I am autmaticly entering it when I boot my devive. On the bottom of the screen is an error message: "dm-verity verification failed...
E:failed to mount /system (invalid argument)"

Fix
For anyone in the same situation: I fixed it.
In the end all you have to do is flash the firmware with the fitting PIT file. If you firmware consists of multiple files and there is a "HOME"-file, flash it with this one first on the AP slot in ODIN. After that the same again just use the AP file this time.
My phone is up and running again now.

have u solved your problem ? This problem i am facing on the s7edge nougat ? Plz help ?

Hey,
look at the second post I made in this thread. There is described how I got my S7 up and running again. I'm not sure if it is a valid solution since it felt like trial and error to me, but I'm writing this text from my S7 so it might be worth a try!
Good luck!

I described everything I did in the posts before.
As soon as you can enter the system again all you need to do is deactivate the locks I was talking about in my first post and perform a full wipe.
After that you can install any ROM you want via ODIN just like you are used to.
If that doesn't work for you, I don't have any answers either.
But again:
Prep work:
1. Download most recent ODIN
2. Download the correct firmware for your carrier (from www.sammobile.com)
3. Download the correct PIT file for your device
4. Put your device in download mode
Process:
1. Extract your firmware if it is a zip
2. Start up ODIN
3. Connect your device and check if it's detected by ODIN
3. Put the PIT file in ODIN
4. Put the "HOME" file of your firmware in the PDA slot of ODIN
5. Press start
6. When finished unplug your device and restart phone and ODIN
7. Reconnect your phone and check if it's detected by ODIN
8. Put all the other files of your firmware + the PIT in the correct slot in ODIN
9. Press start
After that my device booted up but still was, as you described too, a little buggy. So I deactivated FRP, activated USB debugging in the dev options, installed TWRP, performed a full wipe and installed another firmware of my choosing via ODIN (without a PIT file this time).
I am running 7.0 on my device now and it works flawlessly.

Does the TWRP flash complete? Can you boot up the OS after you flashed TWRP? (And did you download the correct version of TWRP for your device?)
As a last resort, you could try and flash marshmallow on your device and see if it works there.

Have you tried to perform a regular factory reset via the OS on nougat? Sometimes that does the job, too.
But as I said. I can only give you my best guess here - my phone worked after my procedure, so I didn't investigate further.
And don't forget: Google is your friend.

Well I had the same issue but Odin method didn't work for me on Nougat. And also FRP lock was On. every time I flashed the files it give me FRP on error. so I had to use Smartswitch. Even though I used original csc and ap files with latest Odin. BTW I have SM-G935FD model

Well FRP has to be turned off (the button in the menu is called "OEM unlock, the button has to be set to on which deactivates FRP). You don't mention using a PIT file - did you use one?

Corrupted PIT

After installing TWRP, following the instructions precisely - at least as far as I can recall - I somehow messed up my PIT (partition information table fwiw). I noticed that I couldn't access my SD-card while in the recovery and upon exiting TWRP I encountered a bootloop. I tried to reflash my phone with a stock ROM but got an error message stating that 'There is no PIT partition'. Lovely. After owning the majority of the Galaxy S series and flashing them to tears, I finally encountered this issue.
I was rooting my S8 to tinker with remapping the Bixby button the hard but right way, without work-arounds. Found a thread on the S8+ forums, here's the link.
Anyway, long story short: I need a new PIT file from someone with an Exynos 64GB model. It's pretty easy to extract but you do need to be rooted.
The required terminal command is:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/out.pit bs=8 count=580 skip=2176
It can be run on the device and through adb, superuser rights are required.
Would anyone be kind enough to help me out?
EDIT:
Welp, looks like I might be fine after all. There's a PIT file in the CSC-part of a stock ROM. Flashing stuff as we speak, will update. I feel stupid about not googling, I panicked because it's a brand new device and I assumed there wouldn't be any available. Goes to show how tricky assumptions are.`
EDIT 2:
Kill me now. I didn't read the instructions properly and forgot to hold the key-combo to enter recovery immediately after flashing TWRP.

I have the same problem but nothing works for me. I am unable to do anything with the phone at the moment. Please help me!

I can hopefully help..

I've just overcome this issue with my S8 also however it took me over a day of research. This should hopefully help as for some reason my S8 doesn't like TWRP.
Firstly Download the BL file for AQG5 (google will reveal it).
Next, you should have your regions AP, BL, CSC and CP files to hand.
Open the CSC file with winzip or 7zip and extract just the .PIT file onto your desktop.
Now put your phone into download mode (power, bixby, volume down).
Open ODIN and connect your phone, in 'options' select 'repartition', then click the PIT tab and after the warning select the extracted PIT file that you placed on your desktop.
Also select the AQG5 BL file and ensure that this box is ticked.
Now in ODIN press start and it should repartition your phone. If it doesn't work for some reason (it didn't for me a couple of times) and gives the DEVICEINFO failure, you need to reenter download mode, and keep your fingers over those buttons (power, bixby, volume down). Now click start (it's a multi finger juggle proceedure) and keep hitting 'start' just as you've pressed the 'volume up' to go into download mode. For some reason the PIT will now be flashed and although you'll still have the boot screen you'll at least have the partition to be able to flash the rest of the software.
Finally, reset ODIN and restart, then select your regions Ap, BL, CSC and CP files, ensure that 'repartion isn't selected and click start.
Problem solved.. now try and find an alternative custom recovery because i can't find one.
Good luck.

I had the same issue as you, after making a multitude of mods to my phone (S8+) I ended up bricking it pretty good. It would not boot to recovery, like the recovery partition image was not there. I could only get it into download mode. After pissing with different versions of ODIN, I saw that it told me I had no PIT
I stumbled across your post and man o man, the amout of time and the way you have to finagle ODIN and the putting the phone in download mode sucks! You have like milliseconds to put the phone in download mode and start the flash via odin. Took me like 20 tries, but was finally able to flash the PIT file and the other AP, BL, CP, and CSC and finally, FINALLY got my phone back.
I will pay more attention to the mods I make, but at least I know I can recover from it.
Thanks Barry

Hi Nighty,
It does work...like I said in my post, you have to be lightening quick with putting the phone in download mode and hitting start in ODIN. Its almost like you have to hit start in ODIN a split second before ODIN shows the device as added. Its nerve racking and frustrating as hell, but it does work. I was using ODIN 3.12 if that helps. Not sure what version you use or what version Barry used.
Good luck and keep trying.

it works .. thx

I emailed TWRP about this issue as it's clearly not just my phone with the problem. They didn't reply.
Has anyone else found an alternative custom recovery for the S8 Exynos?

sorry to resurrect an old thread, but would this method work with nand erase all with S8?

Hi.
Any chance someone can translate this into English?
"Firstly Download the BL file for AQG5 (google will reveal it).

BL = Bootloop?
AQG5 = ???
AP = ??
BL = Bootloop?
CSC = Country Specific Code??
CP = ???
Have just bought a Galaxy SIII Mini GT-I8200 which I am trying to Root and/or install TWRP, with zero luck after 48 hours solid of trying various methods... ADB, ODIN, TWRP.apk etc. etc.
Have been using Linux Mint 20 but am gonna install Windows tomorrow as this is now beyond a joke. All I wanted to do was erase all the Google Nazi stuff.
ADB keeps coming back as unverified signature and ODIN is stuck on 'corrupted PIT file'.

Hi.
Any chance someone can translate this into English?
"Firstly Download the BL file for AQG5 (google will reveal it).
Next, you should have your regions AP, BL, CSC and CP files to hand."
BL = Bootloop?
AQG5 = ???
AP = ??
BL = Bootloop?
CSC = Country Specific Code??
CP = ???
Have just bought a Galaxy SIII Mini GT-I8200 which I am trying to Root and/or install TWRP, with zero luck after 48 hours solid of trying various methods... ADB, ODIN, TWRP.apk etc. etc.
Have been using Linux Mint 20 but am gonna install Windows tomorrow as this is now beyond a joke. All I wanted to do was erase all the Google Nazi stuff.
ADB keeps coming back as unverified signature and ODIN is stuck on 'corrupted PIT file'.

Nice one.
I actually saw all the abbreviations in the Windoze version of Odin. They don't show in the Linux version.
Thank you
